CYou (x32010@1) looked for trouble and you found it son

Straight down the barrel of a lawman's gun
CYou (x32010@1)tried to run but I don't think you can
CYou (x32010@1)make one move and you're a dead man friend
             FAin't (133211@1)living long like this
              CCan't (x32010@1)live at all like this can I baby
GHe (320003@1)slipped the handcuffs on behind your back

And left me freezing  on a steel rail track
            FThey (133211@1)got'em all in the jailhouse baby
                CI (x32010@1)Ain't living long like this
CGrew (x32010@1)up in Houston off the wayside drive

Son of a carhop in some all night dives

Dad drove a stock car to an early death

All I remember was a drunk man's breath
               FI (133211@1)Ain't living long like this
              CCan't (x32010@1)live at all like this can I baby
 GYou (320003@1)know the story how the wheel goes 'round

Don't let them take you to the man downtown
            FThey (133211@1)got ie all in  the jailhouse baby
             CAin't (x32010@1)living long like this

SOLO

CYou (x32010@1)live with Angel she's a roadhouse queen
CMakes (x32010@1)Texas Ruby look like Sandra Dee
CYou (x32010@1)want to love her but you don't know how

Your at the bottom in the jailhouse now
             FAin't (133211@1)living long like this
              CCan't (x32010@1)live at all like this can I baby
GYou (320003@1)know the story about the jailhouse rock

Go on and do it but just don't get caught
               FCan't (133211@1)sleep at all in the jailhouse baby
             CAin't (x32010@1)living long like this
